The Flyer roller coaster was introduced at the 1953 CNE, thrilling riders with its record-breaking height and speed. The archive photo from the ride’s inaugural year shows the Flyer’s entry/exit platform. When the Flyer returned to the station at the end of its 1-minute and 40-second ride, it came to a sudden stop.
Fast forward to the 2024 CNE, where visitors can relish the sight of a restored FLYER car at the Carnival Exhibit in the Coliseum Complex’s Heritage Court. This refurbished vintage roller coaster car was donated by Jim Challoner and expertly restored by Rick Davis Productions.
